debuginfo: Simplify TypeMap used during LLVM debuginfo generation.

This PR simplifies the TypeMap that is used in `rustc_codegen_llvm::debuginfo::metadata`. It was unnecessarily complicated because it was originally implemented when types were not yet normalized before codegen. So it did it's own normalization and kept track of multiple unnormalized types being mapped to a single unique id.

This PR is based on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/93503, which is not merged yet.

The PR also removes the arena used for allocating string ids and instead uses `InlinableString` from the [inlinable_string](https://crates.io/crates/inlinable_string) crate. That might not be the best choice, since that crate does not seem to be very actively maintained. The [flexible-string](https://crates.io/crates/flexible-string) crate would be an alternative.

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
